Make a video on stoeger str9c

[@chrisgreen6650]

Have you shot it any more? Is it still preforming well?

[@dodgervision1]

Out of all the lesser-known guns (gun models and brands) you have showcased, this one along with the RIA STK 100, is actually on my radar. Thanks to you, I have discovered the MC1SC, MC2C from Mossberg, all the Tisas, SARS, and Girsans. Of all my recent less popular brands or guns, my favorite is the SA XDE. Keep up the good work GB.

[@GBGuns]

Thank you!

[@onoes9646]

Watch The Humble Marksman's video on the STK100, if you haven't bought it yet.

[@bucknakedbullfrog]

I went with a Girsan MC28 I am a happy camper.

[@Journeyman.71]

I have had a modest collection over the years, that has varied in size. As a small town cop for about 20 years, I carried a Glock 17 or a G26, both of which I still own (G26=EDC). I realized recently that I can't really afford to collect high-end pistols, so, I've decided to collect from among the (relatively) new spate of high-value/inexpensive guns that have come on the market! I already had an FMK C1-Gen2, that has been a surprisingly consistent and reliable shooter, for me! Since the first of the year, I've picked up a BRG9 Elite, and then, recently, a Tisas PX-9 (gen 2, I think). Each of those were promotional deals at my local "outdoors" chain, for $199.99, each! I think *THIS* may be my next addition to the team! I see them on Gun Broker for as low as $265, plus shipping, FFL fees, etc. And, I see a couple of sites with Mec-Gar CZ 75 mags for $26 - $33!

[@danielledimichele333]

Nice review, as always! Love that you cover the "odd ball" guns. I am intrigued by them as well. Merry Christmas!

[@BB-uu9oo]

Odd balls are my fave to buy. So many cheap pistols w excellent performance nowadays. I do love HK, CZ, Glock, etc, but I'd look to a mfgr from the vast stretch of land from C Europe to W/C Asia have everyone beat in value. Arex, Canik, IWI, Girsan, Grand Power, Tisas, Tanfoglio, Sarsilmaz, and now ACSS are where you wanna look if you're looking for a good pistol at a good price...that goes for first time buyers and enthusiasts.

[@BigTuckUSA]

I appreciate that you don’t ONLY review top tier handguns. 🙂👍

[@GBGuns]

If we can get our hands on it we review it, and every gun gets the same treatment and same battery on the range.

[@Reloadingfromthehotpot]

Absolutely love seeing the "out of the normal" manufactures. Happy New Year to you and the lady.

[@v.german11b]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks, GB. I learn something new from you often. Turkey is definitely making outstanding modern handguns at great prices. I own 2 Canik METE models, a Stoeger STR-9S Combat and a Tisas PX9 Gen 3 Duty. All of them are excellent platforms, with Canik leading the way.

[@kratomgaming]

Looks good! The fact that it uses cz mags/mecgar makes it more desirable!

[@faisaljamalofficial8363]

Nice review may i know which one is best canik mate fs or fx9

[@lesblackwell524]

People turn their noses at the Turkish pistols but in my experience, they're incredibly well built and reliable. My Tristar S120 goes with me to the range 90 percent of the time and it's probably got 3000 rounds through it and is very accurate. My only fear is chasing down parts in 15 years if a break an extractor or firing pin. The trigger in my Tisas PX9 gen 1 could be a little better but like most of the pistols coming out of Turkey, it's a soldiers pistol. Probably not designed to have a light match trigger. I wish Stoeger still made the Cougar.

[@salextodd2]

I am now eagerly searching for this well-made, low-budget pistol… based largely on your and Yoki’s (FL) reviews!! I have (as a general rule) stayed away from “budget firearms” because of my regrets of buying a “Jimenez Arms 9mm” (the only “firearm” I can say that I truly hate to shoot!!). Thank you for your review!

[@GBGuns]

We have links where to find it in the article. Thank you

[@salextodd2]

I just sat through the video again, and I must have missed where you said places to check to find this AHSS. Is there a link I’m missing? Thanks again for the vid - I did enjoy watching it again.

[@GBGuns]

@@salextodd2 see the pinned comment, that's where we link to GBGunsDepot.com where we can link to retailers. KZbin doesn't allow links directly to firearms or related accessories.

[@salextodd2]

Thank you! Hoping to get my hands on this handsome pistol in the very near future!

[@GBGuns]

We link to where we can find stuff on our site. Prices we're from the day the article was written soon course may have changed

[@MURDOK72605]

I'm here because Graham posted an article about affordable options and because I'm a sucker for cheap retro no names.

[@Jeff-xn1ew]

Good review as always from you guys. I have a zigana px-9 and I watched your first reviews several times and it has to be made by tisas. To many similarity’s in both guns. I will keep an eye out for it, because the px-9 is a nice shooter.

[@GBGuns]

So far the improvements in the Gen 3 trigger are worth the upgrade alone. We'll know more after we shoot it.

[@Q.Lawrence]

Thanks for reviewing this gun. It's a very nice shooter. I actually threw my Tisas PX9 Gen 3 slide on it to see if it will work. It does. Both guns have the same internals. Disclaimer: try at your own risk. My results may vary from yours.

[@richardlinares4616]

This pistol best low cost handguns for the money!!! The review was well done.

[@JohnScheppler]

Intersting pistol. Graham great job on the spinner and Teya great group with the 115 Red Army Std but biggest problem I have is I don't know what they smell like?

[@12spies]

You don't really realize how complex the name is until someone says it out loud. And dang, that bullet fragment could have really messed up an eye, good safety recommendation there. Seems like a solid gun, gotta love how populated the market is with affordable but good options. Great video 👍

[@GBGuns]

Thanks! Yeah if a piece of spall can stick into jeans, what would it do to an eyeball?

[@GBGuns]

Hahaha, try saying, "AHSS FXS-9" clearly and quickly

[@12spies]

@@GBGuns I did and my jaw dislocated

[@killacoiler1707]

Graham, when you do a Google search using the AHSS FXS9 Moniker it does not return anything favorable; however, if you search ATI HGA FXS9 in USA it returns a slew of results. Interesting enough I was able to find it from a couple of vendors delivering it with two 17 round magazines. Some of the literature I was able to dig up on it states it runs CZ-75 magazines. That may also explain why it likes Jericho magazines as it is a CZ-75 clone. The dimensions are very similar to those of the CZ P07, which leads me to wonder if it might fit a p07 holster? The only part that might be questionable is the trigger guard being more squared on the P07 whereas the FXS9 is more rounded. Both are 1.4" thickness and 4ish inch barrel lengths. I know you cannot disclose pricing and such on here but let's just say it can be had for less than the cost of a GX4 Taurus. That said, after paying a transfer fee of 25-30 bucks to your local FFL dealer and whatever your tax rate is, it is about the same cost as a Canik TP9 Elite. If it is anywhere near as reliable as the Canik it is another super value for the budget constrained EDC seeker. Thanks for sharing and I hope that more reviews of this start popping up because it would be interesting to see how this performs over a period of range sessions and much higher round counts.

[@lennywebb274]

Purchased. On my 7 day wait period. Can't wait to get this to the range. Nice informative video!!

[@GBGuns]

Thank you and congrats!

[@MrBuckeye63]

Damm it Still liking my FXS-9 😁

[@saleemsuliman3062]

For the price i think it gives you a G 17 feel

[@GBGuns]

But better ergonomics and shooting experience because it's not a Glock

[@wrgj4411]

@@GBGuns I have a Glock G 45 and the FX-9 is the exact same size. G 19 upper and G 17 lower. My FX-9 is a lot more accurate and more comfortable for me to shoot than my G 45. I also have the SAR 9 which is the same size as a Glock 17. Both of these pistols are my favorite and most accurate of my pistols. I have 5 different Turkish pistols and love them all.

[@Tactical-Practical-SajidShah]

One Suggestion, you should show the firepin hit on spent casings. Specially on striker fired pistols. To determine the Fire Pin Hitting Power.

[@GBGuns]

More effective than that is showing it firing multiple type of ammunition, in this video at least 11 were used.

Question, on “Circle #4”, you referred to the TMJ as “ Truncated Metal Jacket”. I thought it stood for “Total Metal Jacket (as in the metal jacket covering the entire bullet, as opposed to FMJ/Full Metal Jacket where the base/back of the bullet has exposed lead)?

I don't know for sure, I suggest asking the importer or manufacturer.

[@markshippoli8918]

Great shooting!....both of u! It seems like it's Glock 19 size?

Higher capacity

[@wrgj4411]

Exact same size as a Glock G45 which has a G19 upper and a G17 lower. I have both pistols and like them both but I like my FXS9 better. Feels better in hand and is a little more accurate.

Happy holidays!! Looks like is cold out there. Nice work this gun looks like is great is what I was expecting. Between this and the sar9c which one would you prefer? Looks like they are even. Well I don't know 🙄

[@GBGuns]

Both good guns. The SAR 9 C is a bit more compact, and likely to have more support holster-wise, etc

[@jesusmonarrez2996]

Thank you. I really I appreciate you answer. Is good advice from you that know amply

[@onoes9646]

In my experience, you're more likely to encounter problems with hollow points out of a full mag. My SAR K2 would feed any hollow points when downloading the mag, but cartridges often got stuck on the feed ramp out of a full mag.

[@GBGuns]

That's a magazine issue not a gun issue

Graham I have this same pistol and mine shoots 2-3" high at 7-10 and 15 yards. Not sure why but I want to change the rear sight to an adjustable one. Would you happen to know what aftermarket sights fit. I'm not sure what the dovetail is. Maybe springfield?

[@macriggland6526]

Thanks GB! I'm amazed that you get a few thousand views per video, but only have about 150 Patreon supporters. "Amazed" maybe isn't the right word.... Shocked. Actually kind of disgusted. When one considers that this type of gun content is already well within the realm of "niche content," one would think that those who regularly seek this information have a high degree of agency. Alas, it is not the case. On the one hand, this makes me despondent. But on the other, I know whatever is coming America's way is exactly what it deserves. Cheers

[@GBGuns]

Thank you. I think it's in part because we don't beg people to contribute or "woe is me" complain about KZbin. When the channel stops being economically viable we'll simply stop making videos. It's a passion and not an income for us. If we had more Patrons we'd be able to do more, but for now it almost works out for doing budget guns and basic reviews.
